Nintendo GameBoy Color [1998] Rating: 4/5

"For pure, portable fun, no other platform comes close to GameBoy Color -- the latest version of the world's best-selling video game system."
Nintendo.com

Nintendo GameBoy Color coloursThe standard specification is similar to the original but with the difference of having a colour screen.

"It is available in six 'tasty' colours: Teal, Kiwi, Grape, Berry, Dandelion and Atomic Purple."

Newer versions of the system have been produced powered by 2 AA batteries which last for approximately 10 hours. This GameBoy Color has significant improvements to the original GameBoy. It is twice as fast, as well as 'increased realism', and of course a colour screen.

VERDICT

The GameBoy continues to dominate the hand-held console market, and this version consolidates their position.
